WATERLOO â Students in DeKalb Middle Schoolâs seventh-grade Fusion composition class engaged in a partnership beyond the school walls Wednesday with a little help from technology.
As the students try to establish the probable cause of 19th-century poet Edgar Allan Poeâs death, they will be assisted by the DeKalb County Sheriffâs Department, the Auburn Police Department, and the Casa Grande Police Department in Arizona.
Each class period has a different officer supporting its work. Wednesday, the officers introduced themselves virtually, explained their roles and responsibilities, and defined probable cause for the students.
The students are formulating their final theories of Poeâs death using evidence from different media sources in an argumentative essay. They then will present their arguments in a two-minute video for the police officers to view.
